Fashion Notes.

Scarf pins are popular with women as
well as men.
Decorative hair pins have gained wide
spread favor.
Lace-trimmed handkerchiefs are once
more in vogue.
Fine vicuna cloths deservedly popular
for tailor made dresses.
Short cloth jackets for young ladies
haven revers collar of fur like those
upon Russian coats.
Panels of Irish lace lined with color
are seen upon some Of the newest Eng
lish evening dresses.
The opal has conquered superstition
and has CLEANED in all fascinating beauty
through the holiday season.
Economical women select one material
when an entire new dress is to be pro-
cured reserving combinations for making
over last years d tesses.
One style Of wearing the veil at pres
emit is to have it well over the chin.
drawn up somewhat at each side, AMI
fastened very high at the back.
French cloth costumes have wraps Of
the same material as the dress. When
two materials are used, one Of which is
plain, the wrap is ofthe plain material.
"A new jacket to be worn under
d tailor made suit or short mantle is

Japanese Adaptability.

Scarcely less interesting features in
Washington society than the Chinese
smini ter and his suite are the Japanese
minister and wife, Madame Knki has
learned good deal Of English since her
reception here two years ago. She now
understands the language fairly we'll
when it is spoken slowly and distinctly,
and she herself speaks with pretty ac-.
cent not unlike Frenchwoman learning
English. Madame Kuki's taste in dress
for visiting and evening toilets is almost
faultless. The colors selected are we'll
suited to her clear brunette complexion.
Her bonnets and gowns have the unmis-
taxable air Of perfection given BY rich
material and simple fashion. Her beau
tiful toilets are the more observed, as in
direct contrast to the Japanese style Of
dress worn by her before coming to this
country. Even in 50 small matter as
w0men's clothes the acknowledged
-adaptability Of the Japanese is plainly
marked; but Madame Kuki has not yet
been seen in decollete dress Her
evening dresses are b gh, and it does not
seem likely that she will adopt this TEA
ture Of European fashionable dress. She
is very pretty in white, pink and garnet,
and often wears these shades at evening
parties. - Washington Letter.

The Daughters OF the King.

There is society ofwomen in New

ten have formed the nucleus of the gen
eral society, and arc known as the Gem

are referred, but the organization is very
elastic, and each little group carries on
its own self-chosen work in its own way.

a Great Reservoir.

The Aoueduct Commissioners have de-
termined uLon the construction of q
storage reservoir for the Croton water
which, as an engineering feat, is without
parallel. It invol ses the construction.
Of the greatest dam ever built. 1t will
be solid ridge of ma onry rising III
feet from its foundation on solid bed
rock and III above the bed Of the ria er.
AT the bottom it will be 500 feet long
and at the top /, 500 feet. The cost, as
estimated BY Chief Engineer Church,
will be SO, al, 90, of which II, 200, 00o
will be re luired for the purchase of some
i, 900 acres Of land to be overlooked.
The depth Of the present Croton Reser-
voir above the head of the new aque-.
duct IS about twenty six feet, and that
reservoir has capacity Of ], 800, 900, 600
gallons. At its head, about five miles
above the present dam, at Muscoot
i. ountain. another dam is to be built to
the same level as that of the proposed
great dam ut Quaker Bridge. This will
provide storage for 2,50O, 900, 900 gal
ions below the mouth Of the subsidiary
streams Of the Croton River. The Quaker
Bridge Dam Will raise the level of the
water thirty four feet, making its total
depth at the gate Of the aqueduct sixty
| feet. The storage capacity thus secured
would be about 10000, 900, 600 gallons.
There are subsidiary reservoirs on the
upper streams which will add about ., Z
900, 900, 900 gallons to this capacity.

the sources of the supply. The new
